He is said to have gone to Shaikh Ahmed kin Mahza, who told him that if he
would pay Shaikh Isa Rs. 2,000 he would obtain his desire.
Shaikh Hamad is inimical to him and recently fined him Rs. 2,000.
According to Yusuf Kanoo, Shaikh Ahmed bin Mahza, the Kazi’s brother,
who got into trouble in the disturbances of 1905, has begun to meddle again in public
affairs and to frequent Shaikh Isa.
740. The monopoly for the export of skins and intestines is said to have been
renewed again to Abdun Nabi Kal Awaz, Persian, by Shaikh Isa for a period of
one year. It has not now, or previously, been officially brought to the notice of
the
Agency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
. It grants the right to purchase all skins at a nominal price and
hence tends to enhance the price of meat, as the butchers do not get their
legitimate profit on the skins.
741. Hasa .—Twenty -five Turkish soldiers arrived from Basrah by SS.
“ Bahrein ” on 13th August and left for Hasa the next day.
742. Katif .—Yuz Bashi Kamil Bey arrived from Okair on 19th August with
a boat containing 30 boxes of cartridges and ammunition. After staying here for
two days, he left for Katif.
He delivered the ammunition at Katif and returned to Bahrain with 14 sol
diers on 26th August. The party left for Okair.
The Katif garrison are said to have now about 100 boxes of ammunition in
all.
743. A serious affray is reported from Jidd Hafs, a village about 4 miles from Condition of
Manama. It appears that two negroes went to make purchases in the village Country,
and a quarrel occurred resulting in blows.
Subsequently one of the negroes went off to Muharraq and brought back four
of his friends. They collected a party of negroes near Jidd Hafs, numbering from
10 to 40 according to different reports. Some of them proceeded to the village as
agents 'provocateurs and the remainder kept behind in reserve. A fight began, and
the negro^reserves with some low-class Arabs joined in, while on the other side the
Jidd Hafs Arabs turned out in considerable numbers. Of the Bahrainis, 4 were
seriously hurt and one Ali bin Fardhan was killed, exactly how is not known. On
the negro side there were, it is said, 3 wounded.
Jidd Hafs is the property of Shaikh Abdullah bin Isa and the Bahrainis went
and reported the afiair to him. They said, however, that they could only recognise
one of the assailants, a negro of A1 Jalahima, who had been one of the original two.
Shaikh Abdullah is trying to trace the assailants, but no one has been arrested as
yet.
No report has yet been received at the

An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent.
from any one concerned in the
affair, and it is to be hoped that only Bahrain subjects were involved.
744. Following is a translation of an extract from an Arabic magazine publish Miscellaneous,
ed in Cairo, the “ Mujallat-ul-Munar,” which refers to Debai and Bahrain :—
“ With regard to the violent action of the English last year m Debai—which
was an irregularity on their part—and perhaps they have repented of it—as
they have repented of the afiair of Dinshawi as is supposed.
“ Verily the people of Debai in consequence thereof have conceived a mighty
hatred against them, and their Shaikh after what has happened will not consent
that they should have a footing (or pied a terre) in Debai, neither for a port office
nor for what is greater than a port office. And he has warned them if they propose
to carry out anything by force in Debai, the whole population will abandon the
place and migrate from it. I have been informed that they have demanded that
the pearl divers in Bahrain should be registered and that they should keep
up account books for them and enter in £hem each year what they get for
their pearls, and the Shaikh of Bahrain and the people have not acce|ded to this
innovation, but anxiety has arisen in the minds of all and they are convinced that
